Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Individual Health Insurance contains an up-to-date and comprehensive treatment of one of the most rapidly changing of risk management topics. The author is an internationally known expert on the subject and supplemented his knowledge with specialized expertise from several of his colleagues. This book is the first of its kind since the text by Francis OGrady was last updated in 1988. It covers the history of the individual marketplace, the role of government health policy, products currently available, regulation, and all aspects of the development and management of this business. It is a valuable resource for those working in the field and for small business owners looking to fund employee health care. This text is listed on the Course of Reading for the SOA Fellowship study in Group & Health Speciality.
